Solo Leveling: Ragnarok Chapter 106-110

Chapter 106

 

“Huh? Su-ho!”

At that moment, Yoo Jin-ho’s expression, which had been cold and hardened, melted in one blow.

Yoo Jin-ho immediately grabbed the phone and shouted urgently.

“Suho! where are you now pick up the phone! phone call!”

“Dae-representative. You have to press the call button first…”

The secretary let out a sigh of relief when he returned to his normal state.

* * *

“…why is Uncle calling all of a sudden?”

Suho, who was taking a break after safely (?) getting out of the Pyeongtaek Dungeon, was confused when he received a sudden phone call from his uncle.

I only sent one text message for trivial paperwork, so this was a problem usually dealt with on the secretary line.

By the way, are you getting a call all of a sudden?

– Hmmm. Are you Suho? Is the Hunter job worth doing? There was no such thing as a special accident…?

“…?”

However, when I answered the phone, a very calm, adult, and serious voice came from the other side.

“Your uncle. There were minor problems, but somehow they managed to come out well.”

-Ah, it was a minor problem, right? hmm. yes very fortunate

“…?”

How come your tone is a bit awkward, is it because of your mood?

“Isn’t there something wrong with your uncle?”

-haha. I? heh heh heh what could happen to me? I am unharmed

“…Safe?”

Suho, who couldn’t guess the situation, was just confused.

It must have been a no-nonsense phone call.

However, Yu Jin-ho, who was checking on Suho’s safety again, sneakily added a word before hanging up the phone.

-Probably, the Hyunmu Guild will contact you sooner or later. I’ll listen to pretty much anything, so try to negotiate well.

As soon as the phone call with Yoo Jin-ho ended, I got a call from the Hyunmu Guild almost at the same time.

And as soon as I pressed the call button, an unknown person screamed loudly.

-I’m really sorry, Hunter Seongsuho!

“…hmm?”

It was only then that the face of Chief Lee Yeong-ho, whom he met right before entering the demon world, came to Suho’s mind.

‘Ah, I completely forgot. Didn’t that man fight with me and get killed by demons?’

It was Suho who had completely forgotten about Lee Yeong-ho because the battle in the demon realm had been a bit long.

The manager of the Hyeonmu Guild who even dragged the 2nd Army Hunters who were threatening to interfere with him.

Suho remembered him with a vague expression.

‘I used it sparingly as a shadow soldier. Thanks to that, the demons were also handled well. I wonder if he has gone to a good place now…’ It

was Suho who prayed for a moment of peace for Chief Lee Young-ho, who was killed by the devil and became a shadow soldier, but now returned to nothing.

However, I don’t know what he heard from Yu Jin-ho, but the Hyunmu Guild had been unconditionally apologizing without any explanation.

-If you’re not rude, we’d like to visit you personally for a while and apologize formally. Would that be okay?

“Meet you?”

At that time, Lim Do-kyun, who had been eavesdropping on Suho’s phone call with his ears pricked up next to him, blinked his eyes and nodded furiously.

‘must! meet! Meet me!’

Nod nod!

“…That’s right.”

Suho couldn’t help but nod his head at the tremendous pressure.

* * *

“I am so sorry!”

He was the head of the Hyunmu Guild, bending 90 degrees in front of Suho and Lim Do-gyun.

“It is our staff’s fault, but it is the responsibility of our Hyunmu Guild for not properly managing our staff! I’m really sorry, Hunter Seongsuho!”

“Hmm. Is a mere verbal apology worthwhile?”

In front of him, Lim Do-gyun was crossing his legs in a most arrogant posture.

And as if to leave this to him, he winked hard at Suho with a wink.

Suho just smiled dejectedly.

However, even if he looked so clumsy, Lim Do-kyun was an elite in his own way.

He was Suho’s direct senior who graduated from Korea University’s Department of Painting, the best art school in Korea, at the top of his class.

that means that.

‘It means that the nunchi skill is at the highest level.’

Being a teaching assistant was a job where I had to deal with high-ranking professors.

At the same time, as a middle manager who was good at dealing with subordinates, that is, students, it was a very difficult job to survive while being hit up and down.

However…

the head of the Hyeonmu Guild in front of them was also a high-ranking person whom Lim Do-gyun would not normally dare to meet.

‘But now you’ve become our precious Eul. Hehehe.’

Seeing Lim Do-gyun rubbing his hands together and smiling slyly, the Head of the Hyeonmu Guild turned pale.

‘…This won’t be easy.’

Lim Do-gyun backed by CEO Yoo Jin-ho.

He was exuding the aura of a warrior who had gone through a reversal under the protection of the president, or the highest school president.

“Come on, Chief. Do you admit that the third dungeon in Pyeongtaek is the dungeon we reserved first?”

“…yes.”

“Then do you admit that the ‘large guild’ Hyeonmu Guild unilaterally tried to take it away from small hunters like us?”

“I don’t know the exact circumstances, but it must have been some kind of procedural error…” ”

Ah, yes. There may have been a mistake. So I got the video recorded on the CCTV in front of the Pyeongtaek Dungeon.”

“….”

Looking at the head of the Hyeonmu Guild who shuddered at those words, Lim Do-gyun smiled the most wickedly.

“Shall we watch this video first and continue talking?”

“…”

Looking at Lim Do-gyun’s eyes, as if he was resentful of evil, the head of the Hyeonmu Guild already sensed defeat.

‘I’m going to rip it hard. What kind of harm did this guy get from Manager Lee Young-ho, so he lost his eyes?’

But he won’t even know.

In fact, it was Ammut, not Manager Lee Young-ho, who harmed Lim Do-gyun just a moment ago.

Lim Do-gyun thought sincerely.

If it wasn’t for Manager Lee Young-ho, he wouldn’t have met Ammut.

However, there was nothing special about the CCTV footage that Lim Do-kyun showed.

It was just that the two of them had a minor quarrel in front of the dungeon.

After checking the video to the end with a lot of tension, the general manager’s complexion suddenly turned bright.

‘Hey what is this? CEO Jin-ho Yoo even stepped in to do just this? Anyway, that nobleman’s disobedience is really serious.’

He let out a sigh of relief, saying that this could be solved with just a few pennies.

But just then, Ber, who had been on an errand for Suho, arrived.

[Little Lord, I brought out the corpses you said.]

“…!”

What Ber dragged along was none other than the corpses of Manager Lee Young-ho and his gang.

It was kept in the Shadow Dungeon in case it would be useful.

Bodies that looked like they had been attacked by demons.

The general manager of the Hyeonmu Guild, who confirmed the fact at a glance, turned pale.

“No, these people aren’t just Hunters who will die in the Pyeongtaek Dungeon, so how could this happen…!”

“Of course, this would not have been the case under normal circumstances. Unfortunately, during the raid on us, we were attacked by demon beasts.”

“…”

* * *

Starting with the results, Suho and Lim Do-gyun firmly ripped off the damage compensation for the tyranny of the Hyunmu Guild.

reward money?

That, of course, was taken for granted, and he received even more important things than money.

it’s a career.

For Suho to establish a guild, what was more important than money was the dungeon.

Suho, Lim Do-gyun, and Esil were close to the rookie mercenary group, which is currently maintained with only three hunters.

So, finding a dungeon to attack in order to build a career was the most difficult thing.

Of course, if you tried to join another raid, it was possible, but that was a problem as it was.

It was because if Suho moved along with the pace of the other hunters, the level-up efficiency would not come out, and it would take longer to clear the dungeon.

However, the Hyunmu Guild helped with that.

No, rather than helping, the expression that I was robbed unilaterally was more appropriate.

“…We’ll share about 10 of our dungeons. Of course, each dungeon is not great, but it will be enough for careers to create a guild.”

“The manager is really a good person. Are you an angel?”

‘Then you’re the devil, you b*stard.’

He was the general manager of the Hyunmu Guild who wanted to spit on Lim Do-gyun’s brightly smiling face.

He was a guy I really didn’t want to mess with again.

‘ha. You really got a good bite.’

He gnashed his teeth inside.

Anyway, all of this was the fault of Manager Lee Young-ho.

I don’t know how much damage the guild suffered because of that idiot.

It’s not just a matter of money, but if you count the fact that you and CEO Jin-ho Yoo have suffered because of this incident, you have suffered an astronomical loss.

‘Yes, let’s think of it as an investment anyway.’

The Head of the Hyeonmu Guild changed his mind.

Anyway, accidents can happen anytime, anywhere, and after all, isn’t the important thing to do?

Since they actively compensated for the damages to this extent, CEO Jin-ho Yoo must have felt relieved a little bit.

‘okay. Let’s use this incident as an opportunity to request that our guild be included in the level up project once again.’

Thinking so, the head of the headquarters talked to Suho indirectly after he finished organizing the damage compensation.

“I am really sorry about this. Even if it is not compensation for damage this time, we plan to help Hunter Seongsuho in the future. Contact us anytime. Oh, and hopefully… Talk to my uncle well…”

It was then.

“Chief Bo! It’s a big deal!”

‘Oh what else.’

Just as he was about to bring up the most important topic, he was suddenly called by a subordinate in a hurry.

He endured his frown and asked for Suho’s understanding for a moment.

“sorry. My staff is a bit inconsistent. What the hell are you making a fuss about?”

However, even though the boss at work was very angry and glared at him, the employee of the Hyunmu Guild showed him the screen of the phone he was holding.

“Look at this article. It is said that this person has just arrived in Korea!”

“Who the hell is coming? …uh?”

After checking the picture of the Internet news he was holding out, the general manager opened his eyes wide and hurriedly accepted his phone.

Suho and Lim Do-kyun, who became curious at the same time, glanced at the cell phone screen and soon saw very provocative headlines.

-Goliath! arrived in Korea!

– Why is the scavenger guild’s guild leader in Korea?

-Grey-haired old Goliath!

A white-haired old man.

In the photo, a muscular old man with white hair resembling a lion’s mane was walking out of Incheon International Airport, wearing sunglasses.

Among the Hunters, there is no one who does not know this old man’s name.

“Thomas Andre?!”

“Why did this person suddenly come to Korea?”

A group of accidents that bring issues everywhere they go came to Korea.

Chapter 107

 

Thomas Andre.

He was the master of America’s representative large guild, the Scavenger Guild.

Despite being an old man in his 70s, he was a world-class star who was active as an S-class hunter.

The reason why he bothered to describe him as a ‘star’ was because he was a celebrity who had already achieved so much even before he awakened as a hunter.

‘Devil in the ring’

Thomas Andre was the strongest UFC fighter that no one dared to match even before his awakening.

A time when there was no such thing as magical powers or monsters on Earth.

Since he was in his 20s, he had already been an MMA fighter who had won the title of ‘humanity’s strongest’ with his pure force.

Numerous challengers challenged his stronghold, but none could surpass him.

In the end, he tried to retire without experiencing a single defeat….

God did not allow his retirement.

After Cataclysm.

Thomas Andre, who was spending his old age leisurely drinking coffee with a friend, woke up before anyone else.

As an S-class Hunter.

And, revealing his overwhelming force to the world, he began catching and killing the monsters that appeared in the United States like rats.

‘Ha ha ha ha! This is real power! How weak I was before!’

From then on, he had his second heyday.

It was then that his nickname of ‘The Devil in the Ring’ was replaced by a new nickname, ‘Goliath’.

He was able to perfectly control his highly developed body even before he had magical powers, so it was very easy for him to adapt to his awakened ability.

‘That’s easy! easy! Doesn’t this feel like I’ve regained the power that originally belonged to me!’

He showed his strength to the fullest, like a fish in water.

In the meantime, he realized how narrow the square ring he was confined to was.

When fighting people, I couldn’t bear to tear them to death, but I could tear the beasts apart as much as I wanted.

In addition, the former becomes a murderer and is criticized by everyone, but the latter receives praise and gratitude from people even if they commit as much as they like. What a wonderful world!

‘Ha ha ha! Where is the magic beast again! Hahahaha!’

…Anyone who saw him brutally killing beasts with his bare hands, even through video media, would leave similar reviews.

-and. I don’t know who the devil is.

– Rather, the beasts look pitiful?

-Please stop hating the beasts ??

-What if the beasts become extinct because of Thomas?

-L??

-Isn’t it necessary to create a beast protection group?

S-class hunters are quite rare, but there are still a lot of them worldwide.

And each of them possessed an overwhelming force no less than that of Thomas Andre.

However, it was impossible to compete for supremacy between S-class hunters because they did not have to fight each other.

However, when someone said that Thomas Andre was the strongest hunter, no one dared to disagree.

And the organization created around him was the ‘Scavenger Guild’.

The only thing the Scavenger Guild revere is power.

As a result, most of the hunters who gathered in the scavenger guild were also radical, and these days, the United States was rather struggling because of their tyranny.

‘…To think that the head of such a guild would suddenly visit Korea.’

After confirming the news, the head of the Hyeonmu Guild swallowed dryly.

It was not easy for a person who was usually an S-class hunter to visit a foreign country unless there was a special purpose.

The reason was simple.

because it’s dangerous

They are literally walking combat weapons.

It was because they were dangerous people who could overthrow even one city in an instant if they wanted to.

Especially, Thomas Andre was by far the most dangerous person among them.

“What the hell is going on? Why did Thomas Andre come to Korea?”

“It seems like reporters are doing interviews in real time, but they are just saying things that I don’t know what they mean.”

“You don’t know? What the hell are you talking about?”

The employee of the Hyunmu Guild, who was skimming through the interviews uploaded in real time at the urging of the headquarters, opened his mouth with his eyes fixed on his cell phone.

“…prophecy.”

“huh?”

“You said you came because of the prophecy?”

“prophecy? Suddenly what…”

I flinched.

At that moment, Suho, who was listening to their conversation from the side, subtly hardened his expression.

‘for a moment. Maybe it’s the scavenger guild?’

There was a moment that flashed through my mind.

The Scavenger Guild and the Prophecy.

Just in time, Verdo popped out of the shadows and looked at Suho.

[Little lord, it seems that the guys I met at the pyramid last time also said something similar.]

“…I can’t believe it?”

Ver did drive a wedge into Suho, who had a shy expression on his face.

[I’m sorry, but do you remember the proverb that you can’t help but catch people? When I was young, when I was studying proverbs, I remember teaching me…]

“…”

It was then.

“Ah, I found it. Broadcast live!”

Coincidentally, Lim Do-gyun found and played the personal broadcasts of YouTubers at the airport.

Just in time, Thomas Andre was answering the reporters’ questions in the video.

A white-haired old man.

The rugged, muscular old man lifted up the sunglasses he was wearing, stared straight at the approaching screen, and opened his mouth.

-Yes. I came because of the prophecy.

“what? Do you speak Korean?”

Curiously, as a native American, he was fluent in Korean.

– Hehe. what is the prophecy? Could I possibly tell you that with my bare mouth?

Even his pronunciation was very Korean-like.

As if you have been practicing for a long time.

Thomas Andre said with a sly grin.

-Anyway, the prophecy is over, and now I’m going to find the messenger of death who killed my guild members. messenger of death? Death Tiger? Is it correct to use this word in this case? Umm…

“….”

Suho was convinced the moment he heard his last words.

‘It’s me.’

[It’s a small monarch.]

‘….’

[….]

While everyone was watching Thomas Andre’s video with interest, only Suho made eye contact with Ver and nodded with an awkward expression.

This was… no excuses.

Manager Lee Young-ho would rather have died at the hands of demons because it was certain that Suho had killed the hunters from the scavenger guild who fought in the Pyramid of Ammut.

‘Of course, that side attacked me first, but.’

[It’s okay to be like that. More than that, it seems that the evidence was destroyed, but this was discovered. ah! Could it be that the Asura Guild, who saved me then, opened its mouth? I should have killed him then…]

‘Rather than that, I’m a bit concerned about the prophecy.’

If it had been Suho not too long ago, he would not have believed in a prophecy that catches floating clouds as superstition.

However, once he realized that his father was a divine being, he could not pass away even something shamanistic like a prophecy.

Not to mention, Thomas Andre, the strongest S-class hunter, couldn’t have come to Korea after seeing today’s horoscope.

‘If that prophecy then…’

Suho recalled the ‘prophecy’ he had heard in Egypt.

-Sooner or later, life born from death will awaken from its seal. And that power will raise the dead.

‘I think it was said to be a prophecy of some fortune teller, but now that I think about it again, it seems to be referring to me.’

At that time, it was the scavenger guild that came to the pyramid after hearing the prophecy, so there was a high probability that the prophecy mentioned by guild leader Thomas Andre was similar.

that means eventually.

‘hmm. It’s me too.’

[What are you going to do? If he really came to visit the little lord…]

Ver looked at Suho with a concerned expression.

However, Suho only shrugged his shoulders with a shameless expression.

“Ah what. What would he do without proof? I brought the entire pyramid.”

[Kieek?]

“Let’s just insist that we didn’t do it.”

Ber thought.

It seems that Sogunju-nim has matured a lot lately.

It was Ver who nodded happily, saying that he seems to be gradually becoming more like his father.

* * *

“Huh? How dare you block my way?”

As soon as Thomas Andre came out of the airport, he saw the Korean association hunters who stood in his way and smiled with interest.

His expression was like a bad boy contemplating how to disassemble this toy, and the association hunters who faced him shuddered.

“Thomas Andre’s sudden visit is against international law.”

Team leader Han Jae-hyeok, who had led the association’s hunters, stepped forward, suppressing his fear.

“hmm. Are you the captain here?”

As the shadow of Thomas Andre was cast over Team Leader Han Jae-hyeok’s face, Team Leader Han Jae-hyeok gritted his teeth with a determined expression.

‘…My life ends here.’

Seeing Goliath, the worst S-class hunter in history, up close, the pressure was no joke.

As if on purpose, the suffocating energy that radiated from Thomas Andre’s body was weighing heavily on team leader Han Jae-hyeok.

At that time, Thomas Andre’s female secretary sighed lightly next to him and opened her mouth.

“Thomas, play around with that, and since you’re tired, let’s go find a place to stay.”

As soon as the female secretary finished talking, the pressure that had been weighing down team leader Han Jae-hyeok disappeared like a lie.

‘omg.’

Team leader Han Jae-hyeok, who almost collapsed on the spot when his legs gave out at the moment, kept his eyes on Thomas Andre, who was chatting with the female secretary out of breath.

“Ew? Aren’t I tired yet?”

“I am tired. It seems like you keep forgetting, but I’m not an Awakener like you.”

“aha! Yes, our Laura shouldn’t be tired. Let’s go to the hotel and adjust to the jet lag.”

Thomas Andre burst into laughter at the bitter remarks of his female secretary, Laura, who had already been accompanying him for 30 years, and strode past the association hunters.

“Wait a minute! Thomas Andre! Stand there!”

Thomas Andre, who had been walking forward at the cry of team leader Han Jae-hyeok, who urgently called him from behind, looked back and smiled.

“You know what? No one has ever dared to stand in my way in my life.”

Creepy.

A ferocious force that could only be felt from a giant monster began to radiate from his body again.

“Thomas.”

At that moment, Laura’s voice stopped him from behind again.

However, this time, Thomas Andre’s runaway could not be stopped.

He warned the association hunters with the most ferocious momentum.

“Can you hear me? If I say go, I go. If you want to stop me, bring at least S-class hunters from your country, not yours.”

“Thomas.”

oh oh oh!

The airport was shaking as if it were about to collapse due to the terrible energy he emitted.

“Thomas.”

“Stop it, Laura. No matter how you are…”

“I got a taxi.”

“Oh already?”

At that moment, the air in the airport instantly became lighter, as if all the fears had been lies.

The people who were weighed down by the fear suddenly came to their senses and turned their eyes to Thomas Andre.

“Oh, it’s narrow.”

He was trying hard to cram his huge body into a taxi.

Chapter 108

 

“Korean taxis are too small.”

“Thomas America is the same size as a taxi.”

“aha. okay? Well, I must have taken a taxi before.”

Thomas Andre forced his colossal body into the back seat of the cab and talked to Laura in the front seat.

“But is the hotel still far away?”

“I have to go a long way. I heard you want to stay at the best hotel in Korea.”

“I didn’t know it would be this far.”

Listening to their conversation, the taxi driver quietly broke into a cold sweat in front of them.

‘I’m scared to death. I burned it for no reason.’

I can’t believe this foreigner is the famous Thomas Andreil.

It’s not an exaggeration at all, it was clear that the moment he stretched even a little, this taxi would be crumpled like a sheet of paper.

“Oh, uncomfortable. Shouldn’t you have waited a little longer and got a bigger car?”

‘Hey…! Why are you so blocked today! hurry! hurry!’

Every time he wriggled behind him, the taxi driver’s spirit seemed to fly away.

“…so Laura.”

Thomas’ eyes, crumpled in the back seat, suddenly became serious, and he brought up the main topic that had flown all the way to Korea.

“Did you find out Seongsuho’s current location?”

“I’m still inquiring, but it won’t be long.”

Even so, from the moment Laura got into the taxi, she kept looking at the work he had entrusted to her on her tablet PC.

With cool blue eyes, she said while quickly skimming through the information sent by US employees on her tablet.

“It is easy to find out the contact information of hunters in Korea. Because the land is so narrow, there is a saying that no matter where the hunters are, if they fall down, they are within reach.”

“When you fall down, your nose touches you. That’s an interesting expression.”

It was neither a proverb nor an exaggeration.

Hunters with excellent physical abilities, especially Thomas Andre’s physical abilities, could be reached in an instant in a small country like Korea with just a little bit of running around.

“By the way, Thomas. Is the character of the prophecy Seong Soo-ho right?”

“That’s for sure. No matter how old you are, you are still not old enough to get dementia.”

“Of course I do not doubt him. But isn’t this prophecy too specific compared to the previous prophecies?”

“Hehe. Not really. Maybe the old woman got better at prophesying as she got older? Originally, fortunetellers look more spiritual as they get older, don’t they?”

Thomas smirked and remembered the face of Norma Selner, the prophetess who had sent him here.

“Although she is in the same position as her, she is also really amazing. I would never have thought that he would be able to survive by waking up almost on the verge of death.”

“It is very fortunate. Thomas, your one and only friend almost passed away.”

“Wasn’t Laura my friend?”

“I’m sorry. I am strictly business.”

In spite of Laura’s firm answer, Thomas only giggled as if he was having fun.

tall.

Just then, Laura’s eyes, which had been reading the numerous information on the tablet, stopped at one point.

“I found it. Seongsuho Hunter.”

“oh? okay? What are you doing?”

“Hmm. If this information is correct…”

Thomas’ eyes flashed as he found a delicious prey.

However, Laura continued her explanation with a frown.

“A C-class summoner…”

“what? Summoner? Besides, it’s only C-class? It can’t be?”

“Since the information was recently registered, there will be almost no errors. And you know That Korean horse power meters are quite good.”

“Is there a possibility that it is another hunter with the same name?”

“Of course it is possible. It’s not like there aren’t people with the same name.”

“You will know that when you meet and check it in person. Or just give it a good night’s sleep and come back.”

Thomas Andre muttered with a smirk as if he were on his way to a delicious restaurant.

‘But he’ll have to hit it anyway. If someone dares to make me walk in vain, honey chestnuts could get very sick.’

It was a trip that he started last night impulsively, but this trip to Korea was very important to him.

‘Glacier Dungeon.’

According to Norma Selner’s prophecy, the help of Seong Su-ho, a Korean hunter, was essential to attack the place.

And Norma Selner, who always made confusing prophecies by writing examples and metaphors that seemed familiar and unknown, picked it up this time and told me the name ‘Seong Su-ho’.

This was by no means something to be ignored.

Especially to Thomas Andre, who has been friends with her for decades.

‘It’s Korea.’

He was soaked in reminiscence while admiring the scenery of Korea passing by outside the taxi.

It was definitely the first time I came to Korea in my life.

However, the reason why fluent Korean was flowing out of his mouth from a while ago.

It was because of a word that Norma Selner had suddenly suggested to him a long time ago.

-Thomas. I feel very free now that I am retired. How about learning Korean at least during this time?

-korean? what is that?

-There is a country called Korea in East Asia. It’s the language there.

– Why do I have to learn the language of that country all of a sudden when I’m old?

-Once you cook it, it might come in handy later.

– Holy shit. If grandma says something like that, if you don’t learn it, you’ll be in big trouble.

It was from then.

He started learning Korean without knowing English.

Norma Selner was a famous prophet even before her awakening.

Of course, he announced his retirement, saying that his ability to predict had disappeared a long time ago, but nevertheless, he was a celebrity who occasionally came to ask for advice from political and business figures whenever there was an important matter.

If such a person said, ‘Learn Korean!’ without context, there was no choice but to learn Korean diligently, even if it was embarrassing.

‘Then later, I became completely immersed in Korean dramas.’

Thomas had been thinking about it for a while.

‘Maybe the old woman told me to watch a drama because I was retiring and looked so bored. Or that I first saw my future living in Korean dramas.’

It was Thomas who, until recently, had only thought about Korea that much.

However, since she came all the way to Korea in search of a hunter named Seong Soo-ho, she was secretly thinking that maybe this is the future Norma Selner saw.

“Hmm. It’s Korea…”

I can’t. My body is itching, I can’t stand it.

Thomas Andre’s expression, which had been lost in thought, suddenly changed.

“Laura. I’m really sorry, but let’s meet him first before we go to the hotel.”

“What do you mean?”

“uh? are you okay? Are not you tired?”

“Of course I am tired. It’s become quite gentlemanly to ask out of courtesy when you’re going to do whatever you want anyway.”

“Awesome! I never thought I would hear such compliments from Laura!”

“It’s an insult. Anyway, I already found the address of Seongsuho, so please go there.”

* * *

[…Little Lord.]

Ver’s expression was more tense than ever.

On the other hand, Suho was just ridiculous.

“No, do I really have to move? Why are foreigners coming to your house now?”

[I’m sorry, but it seems that the master’s personal information is now public property.]

Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu…!

A huge energy was running in a straight line towards Suho, who was resting at home for a long time.

At first, I thought it was a dungeon break.

Or at least I thought that a monster like the Minotaur would come running.

But it was a person.

foreigner too.

Coincidentally, the famous S-class hunter I saw on the news during the day was rushing towards this side with great honesty.

Kwajik! Kwajik!

It was such an enormous nuisance that the sidewalk blocks collapsed with a wobble whenever his legs stepped off the ground.

Suho sighed and greeted him outside the house.

There was no doubt that his target was himself as he ran so blatantly with energy.

“Oh what. Could it be that you came to meet me?”

Eventually, Thomas Andre arrived in front of Suho.

“…”

Suho just lifted his head and looked up at his face with a curious expression.

How could a gray-haired grandfather be so muscular?

The big old man, who looked at least two inches taller than Suho, had bulging muscles all over his body, vividly exuding his presence.

‘With this level, I’ll be able to beat the Minotaur without magic.’

Suho reflected for a moment.

I felt quite strong after leveling up recently, but like Ver’s expression, I seriously considered whether I was still at the level of an ant larva.

Thomas Andre lightly put Laura, a middle-aged female secretary who had been carrying it around his side with his big forearm, and asked Suho directly.

“Are you Seongsuho?”

“…”

Wow, this foreign grandfather speaks Korean well.

If Ammut was a human, it would have felt like this.

“What is it that I was so scared that my mouth froze? Most do, though.”

As Suho didn’t answer and just stared blankly at him, Thomas Andre smiled and showed his teeth in earnest.

Whoaaaagh!

At that moment, tremendous speculation erupted from his whole body and began to press Suho.

“Still, you’ll have to squeeze in an answer. If you don’t want to die.”

No, it’s all like this?

Is there any grandfather who does not have such a case?

Suho was dumbfounded and looked at him blankly.

“For now, I’m Seong Soo-ho, but… What kind of business does the old man have for me to come to see me at such an ambitious night?”

“…what? old man?”

Thomas’ expression crumpled at Suho’s words.

Because I studied Korean diligently, the meaning was automatically translated in my head.

old man

Old Man.

“Ha ha ha! Have you ever seen such a cheeky b*stard! Laura! did you hear How dare this cocky b*stard call me an old man?”

“What.”

no that’s how it works?

Suho was genuinely perplexed.

But in fact, no cowardly man dared to tell Goliath Thomas Andre that he was old.

“OK. I will personally confirm that you are really the holy guardian of the prophecy.”

Thomas took control of the entire area, spewing out even greater speculation than just a moment ago.

Coo cooo coo…!

Kwajik! Kwajik!

At the same time, an ignorant energy oppressed the space, and the ground they were standing on began to crack as if an earthquake had struck.

Knowing that this would happen, Laura, who had been far away early, was shaking her head as if she couldn’t stop it.

In this ignorant gravitational field like a natural disaster, Suho is…

coo-goo-goo-goo!

“hmm?”

For a moment Thomas Andre felt a chill.

How can a mere C-class hunter…

stand still, enduring his own magic field?

Chapter 109

 

Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu!

“…ha.”

Suho, who was under the weight of an enormous magical field, was not taken aback or scared, but rather sighed.

‘There was another human like Ammut here.’

Whether it’s the size or the age.

He couldn’t understand why the old men he encountered were all so tough.

“What is it? Can you stand this?”

Thomas Andre was genuinely perplexed.

According to Laura’s information, Suho was only a C-class hunter.

And the energy you feel when you see Suho right in front of you is B-level, no matter how high you put it.

But what kind of situation is this?

Even if he didn’t really exert his strength, it was a magical field that could crush at least one guy like this.

But how?

‘How can I bear this?’

But there was a fact he hadn’t guessed at all.

Hunters aren’t all about magical power.

Didn’t even Thomas Andre himself possess a highly developed physical ability that was already called the strongest of mankind even before awakening?

When the overwhelming physical power was accompanied by magic, the synergy was indescribable.

But that…

was the same for Suho.

oh oh oh!

Hunter’s rank is determined by the amount of magical power possessed.

And obviously, Suho’s magic power was relatively low compared to Thomas’.

But as far as strength goes…

[Strength: 115]

‘It’s not like I’ve been trained in vain.’

A confident smile appeared on Suho’s lips as he took Thomas Andre’s magic field head-on.

Daily Quest.

rigid body training.

With this alone, Suho was steadily receiving 3 stat points a day.

And all of that was based only on strength stats.

The results were being displayed right now, at this very moment.

‘I’m familiar with the gravitational field!’

“her? Smile?”

When Thomas saw Suho’s relaxed expression, sparks flew in Thomas’ eyes.

“You dare to laugh in front of me?”

Whoop!

At that moment, ‘sincerity’ began to enter the energy that was radiating from Thomas.

Then, Suho’s expression began to harden little by little and he said,

“He changed his mind.”

Thomas went beyond simply fighting the flag and reached out to grab Suho’s neck with his huge hand.

“Even if you are the child of the prophecy, I will first organize the ranks and lead you.”

Whoa!

At this point, Suho had to make a decision.

will you fight

or retreat

However, Suho had already made a decision from the beginning.

‘Of course I have to fight.’

Suho brightened his eyes with curiosity and began to raise his energy in earnest.

‘I got a chance to fight an S-class Hunter.’

It was just what I was curious about.

Apostle of Itarim.

It’s not Itarim, it’s just one of their henchmen, and after struggling so hard, I narrowly won.

It shouldn’t be like this.

I just couldn’t stop at that point.

In order to ultimately reach the place where my father is.

In order to stand proudly by my father’s side and wage war against Itarim!

‘Shouldn’t I at least become the strongest among humans?’

If it’s only to the point of being defeated by a human, then you don’t even have the right to set foot on the battlefield where your father is standing anyway.

So I was curious.

From the moment I learned that Thomas Andre, an S-class hunter who was nicknamed the strongest of mankind, came to Korea.

‘How strong is the S class?’

That thought didn’t leave my head.

But what kind of windfall is this to come from the other side first!

Kwak!

Just like that, Suho held the hands of Thomas Andre who was approaching.

The tremendous grip you feel at that moment!

“What?”

For a moment, I saw Thomas Andre’s expression with his eyebrows raised in interest.

In an unexpected situation, the corner of his mouth twitched and went up.

“Are you serious? Are you sure you want to fight with me right now?”

It was really absurd.

The reason why Thomas visited Korea in the first place was not because he thought highly of Suho, but because of Norma Selner’s prophecy.

‘I came all the way here to try to attack the Glacier Dungeon.’

The Glacier Dungeon was a demonic realm that even the scavenger guild couldn’t readily challenge.

As the name suggests, it was a very difficult environment to endure just by entering the dungeon covered in extreme cold.

Even because of the presence of powerful magic beasts, many hunters have set foot there but have not been able to return.

In fact, there was a hunter who used strength in the scavenger guild, but there was also a case where he led his subordinates confidently, saying that the cold was nothing, and then returned after suffering a lot and just before freezing to death.

Norma Selner prophesied that a Korean hunter named Seong Su-ho would be helpful in clearing the dungeon that even the scavenger guild had not been able to clear.

Right after that, Thomas Andre decided to go to Korea.

But to my dismay, when I arrived in Korea, I saw that the Seongsuho in the prophecy was only a C-level summoner.

‘I dared to look funny to such a guy. Just kill me?’

To begin with, Thomas Andre had never experienced a situation in his life where he had to ask someone for a favor like this.

If you want something, you just order and direct.

So now he was seriously thinking about it.

If I pull this ridiculous guy’s arms off his shoulders, will Korean healers be able to fix it?

Or tearing all limbs apart…

“Thomas! Calm down!”

Laura, who felt that the situation was not serious from afar, heard a voice urgently dissuading him.

“Thomas! You don’t intend to kill him, do you? Don’t forget our purpose!”

…But when he felt like this, no one could stop Thomas.

No matter how old he is, he is truly a villain on the battlefield.

Because there was no history of sending a child who dared to show off his strength in front of him alive.

Rather, he gave more strength to the arms that held Suho’s hands.

“Don’t worry Laura. What a wonderful world these days are! No matter how broken I am, the healers will save me! Ha ha ha!”

His forearms swelled up as he let out a ferocious laugh.

However, the problem was that Suho, who confronted him, also showed it with an extremely ferocious expression.

‘Come as much as you like!’

[The strength skill alleviates the pain.]

[The strength skill alleviates the pain.]

….

Every time I practiced rigid physical training, the bones in my body were broken and shattered, so this level of pain was a daily occurrence.

Ammut always emphasized.

Even in such pain, drawing out the power of the whole body is a true warrior.

The master and the disciple.

Suho could now wholeheartedly agree with Ammut’s words.

Numerous mad blooded demons he encountered in the demon realm.

They had already spread the photohemorrhagic poison all over their bodies, so just being alive was painful.

Even in the midst of the pain, they were warriors who burned their will to fight with only one thought to kill and eat their opponents.

Isn’t Suho himself the one who killed all those demons and survived until now?

‘If the opponent only attacks by force, there is a good chance!’

Suho sincerely intended to win the contest of strength against Thomas Andre.

“Kwaaaaaaaaa!”

“Ha ha ha ha ha!”

Kwah Kwah Kwah Kwah Kwah!

As the energy of Suho and Thomas Andre clashed in earnest, a typhoon of tremendous magical power raged in all directions centered on the two.

Everything in sight began to shatter.

“Thomas! Thomas! stop it!”

Even in the midst of this, Laura’s voice desperately trying to stop Thomas resonated like an echo.

But then.

…Kick!

There was a black sedan that just arrived here.

The door opened and the person who stepped out was none other than Yoo Jin-ho.

“Whoa. Fortunately, it’s not too late.”

Quickly grasping the situation, he checked the safety of Suho, who was in confrontation with Thomas Andre, and wiped his heart.

Yu Jin-ho, who had been checking Suho’s situation in real time because of the Hyunmu Guild today.

He received word from his secretary a while ago that Thomas Andre, an S-rank hunter who had visited Korea today, was heading towards Suho’s house.

‘If I hadn’t had memories of my previous life, I would have passed it on unintentionally.’

Yu Jin-ho was a person whose memories of the now forgotten time period had returned, and he clearly remembered what kind of person Thomas Andre was.

And it was… never a good memory that I’m afraid to even think about.

-Ahhh…!

The only thing he did in that memory was to struggle in pain and let out a scream.

‘I never thought I’d encounter the scavenger guild like this again.’

It was a shock.

No matter how old he became, Thomas Andre was still Thomas Andre.

Yu Jin-ho could find himself feeling a surge of fear just by looking at his face.

Of course, even in his memories of the past, Thomas had never directly harmed him.

However, he was captured by the Hunters of the Scavenger Guild, who were his subordinates, and was tortured until he died.

And I remembered exactly why.

‘…At the time, I was my older brother’s only weakness.’

Recalling himself who was so helpless at the time, Jinho Yoo gritted his teeth.

And the moment I heard the news that the scavenger guild had come to Korea again.

Yoo Jin-ho had no choice but to order his staff to find out and report his every move in real time.

Because I was afraid.

The Thomas Andre he remembers was a man who didn’t know where to go.

If the self at that time was Sung Jin-woo’s only weakness.

‘…Because Suho became that kind of person this time.’

I had no intention of taking any more time.

I don’t know what purpose Thomas came to Suho, but there was only one way to solve this situation.

Yoo Jin-ho immediately recognized his secretary, Laura, and quickly approached her.

And standing next to him, with an extremely serious expression, stopped this contextless flag fight.

“Thomas Andre.”

Yoo Jin-ho called his name clearly in a calm and respectful tone.

Anyway, if you’re an S-class hunter, you’ll be aware of everything happening around you even during this chaos, and your own voice will reach his ears anyway.

“My name is Jinho Yoo. I am Yoo Jin-ho, CEO of Ajinsoft.”

Kwak Kwah Kwah Kwah!

The whole world was shaking as if the world was about to change, but he just spoke his own words.

“If I don’t step back right away, I have no choice but to use my hands.”

“…what?”

wriggling

Thomas, who was thoroughly focused only on Suho, reacted to those words for the first time.

He already knew that a new person had approached nearby.

However, the energy I can feel from Yoo Jin-ho is only D-class.

The cheeky guy in front of me is also not enough, so this time even that stupid fool dares to talk nonsense to himself.

Thomas glared at Yoo Jin-ho with an expression that was truly absurd.

“What else are you? What is the company president like? You were freaking out because you wanted to die.”

“Thomas! Stop it!”

At that time, Laura, who was next to Yoo Jin-ho, shouted with a more serious expression than ever.

“CEO Jinho Yoo is the largest shareholder of our guild!”

“Oh, and you were such a great person?”

At that moment, Thomas’ life completely disappeared.

Chapter 110

 

Thomas Andre sat across from Suho with an embarrassed expression.

And next to them were his secretary Laura and representative Yoo Jin-ho.

“sorry. Unconditionally, Thomas is the fault of this human being. I ask for mercy.”

Ignoring Thomas, Laura was apologizing to Suho and Yu Jin-ho on behalf of him.

In particular, he had no choice but to pray unconditionally to Yu Jin-ho, the major shareholder of the scavenger guild.

“Stop talking about Thomas and apologize first.”

“Curm. No, but we are known as scavengers, but for just a few pennies…” ”

The moment our stock is cut in half because of CEO Jinho Yoo, I know that your ransom is also cut in half.”

“Adventure. I was a bit overdone, CEO Yoo.”

It was Thomas Andre, who hesitantly straightened up at Laura’s words and sat down.

Even so, I didn’t forget to add a word.

“Heh heh heh. This is all happening because I am not good at Korean, so let’s just laugh and pass it on.”

“…For that matter, your pronunciation is really good. Even if you are Korean, I will believe you.”

“This is because I am such a fan of Korean dramas. I’ve been watching a lot of revenge lately, so my Korean is a bit on the extreme side.”

“Thomas. Just apologize, just apologize.”

Laura let out a sigh and shook her head at the gesture of Thomas, who was giggling and trying to pass it off as a joke.

Even so, the reason why I couldn’t help but notice Yoo Jin-ho was because Laura, who was the first to come to Korea, knew the value of the brand ‘Ajin Soft’ very quickly.

‘Azin Soft. A global company leading virtual reality games around the world.’

It is said that the hunter world and the game world are completely separate businesses, but from the point of view of companies, in the end, large companies were bound to be intertwined in some way.

In particular, the fact that Ajinsoft is preparing a game featuring hunters named ‘Only I Level Up’ was a great amount of high-quality information that was secretly spread among entrepreneurs.

Recently, information has been released to the public little by little, but in fact, few people know that Ajinsoft started planning the project from the moment the cataclysm occurred.

And as if proving that fact, CEO Jinho Yoo had already been steadily buying stocks of large guilds around the world since then.

As if predicting in advance that the share price of hunter guilds would skyrocket the moment a virtual reality game featuring real hunters was released.

‘CEO Jinho Yoo is truly a scary person. That they are making their own market and buying all related stocks before the market is created. That’s not something anyone can do.’

Unlike Thomas Andre, who was only strong and immature, Laura was the one who knew the true face of CEO Jinho Yoo more than anyone else.

So, I had no choice but to do my best in dealing with him.

Anyway, thanks to that, the situation was resolved amicably, and Yoo Jin-ho let out a sigh of relief.

“Whoa. I’ll get it right away. But why did Mr. Thomas come to our Suho?”

“Hmm. I will explain it myself.”

When the atmosphere seemed to be getting better, Thomas smiled and looked at Suho.

“Seongsuho, we need your help.”

“No suddenly?”

Suho looked at him with a genuinely absurd expression.

Do you think someone who needs help will come and attack you like you’re going to kill them?

‘Is your brain full of muscles? Or even senility.’

However, there was a part where Suho was stabbed right away to be angry with him over this.

“okay. At first, I was going to drag it in moderation, but I never dreamed that it would be this difficult. I’m sorry anyway. apologize.”

“…”

“Uh huh. I apologized, so let go of your anger, man. I’m not saying anything because you killed our guild members.”

Hearing those words, Suho flinched and almost lost his expression.

But, on the outside, he maintained a shameless expression and responded to his words.

“I don’t understand what you mean at all.”

“What are you talking about now? Our Suho has lived only in Korea all his life. How can a guy who has never been abroad claim to have killed a scavenger guild member?”

[Well done! Keep pushing!]

It was Ver who was cheering Yoo Jin-ho hard in the shadows.

“Hehe. Actually, that’s a very strange part for me, too.”

As if he knew it would come out like that, Thomas grinned and leaned back in his chair with a relaxed attitude.

“Of course there is no evidence. no witnesses Not only the corpses of our guild members who went missing in the first place, but even the pyramids that they said they went in to attack at will have disappeared.”

“CEO Jinho Yoo, we don’t have anything to argue for on this, so you can pretend you didn’t hear.”

Laura, who was commenting next to me, raised her glasses and said.

“But I heard that the Asura Guild hunters who survived and returned from the pyramid submitted strange reports. He said he became acquainted with a Korean figure called Hunter Seong Su-ho.”

[I knew it would be like this! Little lord, I must rip their mouths apart!]

Ber stood up from under the shadows in a huff.

Suho stomped on the guy with his foot and talked casually.

“I don’t know who it is, but it seems to be the same person.”

“Of course it could be, but that is fine. After all, the guild members who went missing there were always a nuisance that caused a lot of trouble.”

“okay. It doesn’t matter where or by whom those idiots were beaten. Of course, if I were in my prime, I wouldn’t let go of those who dared touch my property.”

Thomas rolled his eyes and gnashed his teeth.

But he didn’t spew out a life so hastily as before.

Rather, he muttered in a low voice mixed with a sigh, with a bitter expression on his face.

“…because I have much more important things to do now.”

Thomas looked into Suho’s eyes and spoke in a serious tone.

“Then you need to help me.”

“…what the hell are you asking for help with? I’m just a C-class hunter.”

At this point, Suho also became curious.

What on earth is it that an American S-class hunter is asking for when he comes to him in Korea?

“It doesn’t matter if you’re C-class or E-class. Because Norma Selner’s prophecies have never been wrong.”

“Norma Selner? Could it be that the prophet prophesied about Suho?”

The first to react to those words was Yoo Jin-ho.

He was the only one of these four who had memories of his past life, so he knew better than anyone how important Norma Selner’s prophecy was.

“okay. The old woman made a prophecy by picking out the Korean Seongsuho. Only this guy can help me.”

When he pointed out himself, Suho asked.

“What kind of help do you mean?”

“I don’t know. Because the grandmother’s prophecy ended there. But my grandmother told me to tell you this.”

“…?”

“Glacier Dungeon. Maybe there you can find a clue about your mother.”

…!

Suho and Yoo Jin-ho, who suddenly heard words they couldn’t even imagine, opened their eyes at the same time.

Even Ber, who was eavesdropping from below, couldn’t help but be astonished.

[Kiehehehehe! A clue about Haein! Little lord! It’s a miracle! It’s a miracle!]

‘Be quiet for a moment! Organize your thoughts.’

Suho’s mind suddenly felt like it was completely messed up.

does this make sense?

The first words of an uninvited foreign guest who came from a completely unexpected place are the actions of a mother who disappeared a few years ago.

Yoo Jin-ho hurriedly looked at Suho.

“Soo Suho! Norma Selner’s prophecies are to be believed! You may not know, but he is…!”

[Even the small man knows! Once upon a time, my lord told me, that old woman was a prophet who even answered a prophecy about a war between the Shadow Legion and the Lords! I don’t know what a glacier dungeon is, but this is one I absolutely must go to!]

While Ber was rambling in the shadows like that.

Thomas’ secretary, Laura, was persuading Suho with a serious face.

“I can vouch for Norma Selner’s prophecy, as I heard it with him. He didn’t say more details, but he said that if you help us, it will definitely help the Seongsuho Hunter in some way.”

“…I’ll think about it for now.”

Suho managed to open his mouth while calming his complicated mind for a moment.

In response, Thomas chuckled and said:

“Yes, yes. well thought out I knew you would accept it.”

“Thomas Seongsu-ho Hunter replied that he would think about it. Please study Korean more.”

“That word is that word.”

It was Thomas who accepted Suho’s answer as he pleased and laughed heartily.

* * *

[Of course you’re going?]

After Thomas went back to the hotel, Ver was stomping his feet anxiously at Suho who came home.

[No matter how much Haein-nim is blessed by his lord, in the end he is just an ordinary human being. Even at this moment, just thinking about where and what kind of hardships Soin is going through makes Soin so worried… Hehehe!]

Ver, clinging to Suho’s shoulder, wept bitterly.

Of course, he said he would think about it, but in fact, Suho’s answer was fixed.

“Of course I will go.”

It was the first clue about her mother found after several years of disappearance.

Even if the prophecy was false, it was right to go and check it unconditionally.

But the reason he was hesitant to answer now was another matter.

“Glacier Dungeon. The problem is that there is absolutely no information about where it is.”

I don’t know where it was, but it was a dungeon that even an S-class hunter would have a hard time with.

I was going to enter such a place, but I couldn’t answer that I would go in without any information.

‘Especially if there is a mother’s clue there.’

Judging by Thomas Andre’s temper today, there was a very high probability that he would kidnap him on the spot and take him to the United States the moment he answered yes.

‘It’s obvious that I’m senile. It’s because he’s an old man who came to ask for help and started attacking without hesitation.’

Let’s be careful and careful again.

It wouldn’t be strange if the old man came and kidnapped him, even tomorrow morning.

Before that, it was urgent to find out information about the Glacier Dungeon as soon as possible.

But the problem was that even Thomas Andre didn’t have much information about it.

In the first place, the scavenger guild itself was not a guild with good information for a large guild.

The reason, ironically, was that next to Thomas, the guild leader, was Mrs. Norma Selner, a famous prophet.

With an excellent prophet right next to him, his ability to collect information while working hard was gradually deteriorating.

So, after sending Thomas back to the hotel, Suho asked Yoo Jin-ho to gather as much information as possible about the glacier dungeon.

And he also began to track information using HunterNet and other means.

“If you’re sure there’s a mother’s clue there, you can’t make a mistake. I have to be fully prepared and go…”

That was then.

Suho’s phone rang.

“Anyway, my phone never gets a break.”

Perhaps, since Suho became a hunter, it was his cell phone that suffered more than anyone else.

“Is this a number you don’t know?”

Suho looked at the number on the screen and made a puzzled expression.

I suspected it was spam for a moment, but it could have been a call from Thomas or Laura, so I pressed the call button.

Then, the voice that came from the other side was a completely different person.

– Seongsuho Hunter! I’m here! I’m Lio Xing!

“…Who was it?”

Suho covered his phone with his hand and looked at Ver.
